Help - Applying for college

[Swinkid]

Hey Guys and girls,


Im applying for the 'BTEC Level 3 Diploma in IT Yr1' course and i was just wondering what the Yr1 means in it

Cheers

It probably just means that it's the first year course not the second year one.

year1.

[Special]

the first year

it could also mean it's only for 1 year (most level 3 college courses are 2 years)

[matt$]

yr1 means its only for 1year.

Cheers for replies so quickly, it says that its " The 18 unit Extended National Diploma is equivalent to 3 A Levels. " and that there students go on to HE.. I was just wondering, does the length of the course effect getting into HE atall, its 18 units so i should be able to get into uni with it.

Cheers

think you need 4 a levels to get into uni, could be wrong though.

Yes, however with BTEC's you get UCAS points, doing an 18 unit course i belive gives me enough ucas points to take this onto uni.
